Adding secondary file in Logshipping

  • Can we add secondary datafile with out restoring the log backup with move cmd to the secondary server?

    If yes , how ?

  • For an add file to be seamless you need to ensure the paths on both instances match

    That's correct if you want minimal overhead but you can manually move files if you have different drives.

    When used with RESTORE LOG, the MOVE option can be used only to relocate files that were added during the interval covered by the log being restored. For example, if the log backup contains an add file operation for file file23, this file may be relocated using the MOVE option on RESTORE LOG.

    Yes, but if you read the post the user wants to know how without using the move command 😉
